John_W Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Found this old and faded photo my late Father took in the old albums. During the 60's he served in Muharraq and Aden. While flying as a passenger on this aircraft they experienced a crash landing, which he took a photograph of. Any detectives able to shed any light on the aircraft or the incident, or is it a bit vague? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake failure resulted in the aeroplane going off the end of the runway and being damaged beyond repair. All other Valletta accidents listed by them are either 1950s and/or away from the Middle East.
